Teaching Notes

The rules of Sudoku are easy and probably well known to the students, although the six by six grids used in this resource is possibly less familiar. These two geodoku (a geography based Sudoku) grids use six key words/phrases linked to urban issues in LICs. The students need to place one of the six key words/phrases into each empty cell in the grid. Each row, column, and three by two boxes must contain only one of each of the six key words/phrases.

These two geodoku grids are set at an easy level. Students could be set a time limit if they find this puzzle too easy or you could ask them to design one themselves using the six key words/phrases.
